Whatever you may think of PJK, he was strong in his belief in himself,
rarely flustered by events, and confident in his own ability. So to, is
John Howard. You might call it charisma or whatever, but a large
organization of individuals with different points of view needs some kind
of strong central personality to help them act cohesively. You will agree
that the liberals, before JH hit his straps, were a pretty rogh rabble
that shared little more than a love of a good chablis and a fine camambert
after supper.
Anyhow, what I am saying is, that no matter what PJK was, or had become
with time, he had at his core a strength of purpose that a future leader
would require in order to challenge the libs. Perhaps Kim will get this
with time, but as yet, he is still too much the amiable gentleman.
Who knows...maybe this radical approach may surprise us all :)

A country full of helpful, honest, friendly politicians with our interests
at heart..God spare us :)
